[QUOTE="mapman, post: 159925, member: 13994"] Alright, I've been scouring the net and reading my manual, but for whatever reason, the exposure explanations and exact set up are escaping me. I have a d5100, and I'd like to take a few star shots, not with lines, just nice night time shots that show the stars clearly. I understand all the other settings explanations except the exposure part. So I guess my question, or questions would be is there a way to do this with the camera itself, or do I need an external controller? If I can indeed do it with the camera itself, can someone explain the settings in better detail, or point to an explanation that spells it out in fine detail. OH and I was wondering which would be better to use my 18-55mm kit lens, or my 35 mm 1.8 prime lens? Thanks a ton... [/QUOTE]
